Tofana di Rozes (3,225m) is a mountain of the Dolomites in the Province of Belluno, Veneto, Italy. Located west of the resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo, the mountain's giant three-edged pyramid shape and its vertical south face, above the Falzarego Pass, makes it the most popular peak in the Tofane group, and one of the most popular in the Dolomites.
Climbing
Most climbs start from the north, where the mountain is a relatively easy hike, or the west face, where the summit can be reached by a via ferrata. The south face is the real challenge though, with many of the routes being either fifth or sixth graded climbs.[2] The mountain was first climbed in 1864 by Paul Grohmann and local hunter Francesco Lacedelli. The south face was first conquered in 1901.[2]
